- chocolate (duh)
- ice cream (double duh)
- "cotton candy" reading material
- reading in general
- Facebook
- Facebook stalking (specific target only)
- not sleeping
- sleeping
- computer time
- procrastination (see above)
- Theater
- making lists
Is it an intervention if you call it on yourself?
Rehab will consist of:
- cutting out chocolate, sugar, and ice cream; bribery by way of counter-intuitive reward of Nielsen's Frozen Custard at long intervals for good behavior.
- a year of reading only non-fiction (with some grayish areas, rules to be expounded) starting Feb. 1 (I gave myself a month of "transition" time)
- cutting down Internet time; taking Facebook breaks, just to make sure I can; allowing NO computer access in the mornings before work
- re-instituting the checkbox scheduling list
- making smaller, more manageable lists
- signing up for at least one half-marathon and PAYING for it, to create imperative to get in shape and stop wasting time
- always, always, always read the instructions/guidelines/attachments FIRST and THOROUGHLY
- go to grad school and learn how to focus the theater yen, instead of scattershotting and trying to do everything
- drink more water
- get more sleep
Any other suggestions and possible motivations would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I suppose the proper term would be "scattershooting", but I tried them both and liked "scattershotting" better. I do like verbing words occasionally.
